Randomized Controlled TrialSkeletal muscle strength in young Asian Indian females after vitamin D and calcium supplementation: a double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial.
Randomized control trials (RCT) of the effect of vitamin D/calcium supplementation on skeletal muscle strength have not shown promising effect in the elderly. ⋯ Oral cholecalciferol/calcium supplementation in the dose/schedule used is effective and safe in increasing and maintaining serum 25(OH)D. However, this does not lead to improved skeletal muscle strength in young females.

Randomized Controlled TrialA randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of glycemic control on renal transplantation outcomes.
Outcomes from intensive glycemic control postrenal transplant have not been studied. ⋯ The primary outcome measure of DGF was not statistically different for the two treatment groups. Regarding longer-term rejection and graft survival, the intensively treated participants were at higher risk for a rejection episode.
